I warned them about giving these guys guns.

Alejoc:
Owing the original version will be a proper status symbol for them yahoo boys who needs every opportunity to shows us they are bigger boys.

A lot of people have already bought the fake. Virtually all the big boys strolling around in the new Nigeria Super Eagles jersey today are wearing fakes, and the fakes are so well made, I believe it will be hard to tell apart from the original.

Nike disclosed on Thursday, that it had received over 3 million orders of the Super Eagles new World Cup jerseys for Russia 2018.

At a meeting with chieftains of the Nigeria Football Federation at its Europe headquarters in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the sportswear behemoth also used the opportunity to announce that the much-anticipated release of the Super Eagles new World Cup jerseys into the global market would happen on Tuesday, 29th May, at unit cost of $85.

President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr. Amaju Melvin Pinnick attended the meeting in company with NFF 2nd Vice President/LMC Chairman, Mallam Shehu Dikko, who is also Chairman of the NFF Marketing, Sponsorship and TV Rights Committee. Nike’s Vice President/General Manager for Europe, Middle East, and Africa, Matthus Visch was in company with Sales Director, Mr. Wouter van Olm.

Both organizations used the opportunity to appraise their running partnership agreement, signed in London three years ago, and while both expressed satisfaction with the contract performance, the imperative of penning a new, improved contract was high on the agenda.

“The meeting was at the instance of Nike. The company’s representatives at the meeting expressed delight with the performances of the various National Teams since they came on board and we both agreed that it was time for a much bigger contract. That would be actualized very soon.

“The new Super Eagles’ jerseys will be released into the global market, including several Nike shops across Nigeria, on 29th May 2018, just before the Eagles fly out to London for the friendly match against England. The cost would be $85 for one,” Dikko told thenff.com.

In the three years of Nike’s initial sponsorship agreement with the NFF, the U17 National Team (Golden Eaglets) have won a fifth FIFA U17 World Cup; the U23 National Team (Olympic Eagles) have won bronze at the Men’s Olympic Football Tournament; the Senior Women National Team (Super Falcons) have won an eighth Women Africa Cup of Nations; the Super Eagles B have achieved a record runner-up position at the African Nations Championship and; the Super Eagles have qualified for the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup (Nigeria’s sixth appearance) from a so-called ‘Group of Death’ in the African series.

“In our discussions, we explored a lot of possibilities going forward. We talked about the forthcoming FIFA World Cup finals in Russia and the preparation of the U20 girls (Falconets) for this year’s FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in France, among other issues,” Dikko added.

I have a 67 and a 72, pic sbelow.

The car you featured is very special. It's a regular 250 that the factory installed a 4.5 liter engine instead of the 2.5 liter engine that it would have normally came with.

Are you the owner?

It's nice to finally see real autoists who appreciate real car instead of the latest whizzbang plastic crapola on the market

The Chairman organising committee and the MD, BKG Exhibitions, Mr. Ifeanyi Agwu brought this to the fore while briefing journalist in Lagos, recently.

In what has become an Auto Mundial and show of strength among the indigenous and foreign firms in the automotive business, more firms are confirming their participation in the events. Many indigenous firms have confirmed their participation while over 80 foreign firms from all parts of the world are storming the Federal Palace Hotel Victoria Island venue of the event with different world-class products and services from their stables.

Agwu revealed a large number of the major brands of automobiles, spare parts, accessories, lubricants, banking, insurance, regulatory and policy-making agencies and bodies are taking part”; adding that “though the sector is passing through turbulent times in the country the persistence of major players in participating in this event can is attributable to the importance they attach to it as a key event for demonstrating and showcasing capabilities and potentials.

We cannot but attribute their consistency to the strategic importance attached to it by all the stakeholders in the industry who have been hardworking and making sacrifices here and then

It has been a collective effort and all hands have continually been on deck, starting from the private sector to the various agencies of government both at the state and federal levels.” All the major brands available in Nigeria and to some extent abroad will be showcased.

He urged every stakeholder to endeavour to show up at the event billed to take place at the Federal Palace Hotel, Ahmadu Bello Way, Victoria Island, Lagos from May 7-12, 2018; which he said would be a unique and veritable opportunity for all to show the strength and ruggedness of the players in the sector.-the policy inconsistencies notwithstanding.

Midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has assured that the Super Eagles will be ready for action ahead of pre-World Cup friendly matches against the Democratic Republic of Congo, England and the Czech Republic.

Nigeria host the Leopards of DR Congo in Port Harcourt on 28th May, before a prestige clash with England’s Three Lions at Wembley Stadium in London on 2nd June and an encounter with the Czech Republic in Vienna on 6th June.

“We are not focusing on any particular game; we are getting ready to face all the teams that we have to play before the World Cup. It is the right mentality to approach the games.

“I have been asked several questions about the match against England, but I tell people that the England match is very important, just like the other matches that we have to play. What is key for us is to get into the right psychological state to confront every opposition that lie ahead, including those that will be waiting at the FIFA World Cup,” Onazi told thenff.com on phone from his base in Turkey.


https://i2.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/Ogenyi-Onazi.jpg?w=768


Former FIFA U17 World Cup silver-winning midfielder Onazi, who played for Nigeria at the 2014 FIFA World Cup finals in Brazil, dismissed feelings that the team would be over-confident going into the FIFA World Cup following victories in friendlies against Argentina and Poland.

“There is nothing like over-confidence. What I can say is that we are a very ambitious team and we will always be ready to play any team. Yes, we defeated Argentina and Poland, but that has not in any way generated feelings of over-confidence in the camp. We are focused and have our heads on our shoulders.

“For us, humility and hard work will be the winning words going ahead. Our preparation is going on well and we are happy with that. At the World Cup, we will come up against different teams with different styles and approaches of play. It is important that we are adequately prepared and we appreciate the games that the NFF has lined up for us,” said the Trabzonspor of Turkey ace.

The Eagles clash with the Democratic Republic of Congo at the Adokiye Amiesimaka Stadium in Port Harcourt, before flying to London for the match against England at Wembley. Four days later, they will trade tackles with the Czech Republic at the Rudolf Tonn Stadium, just outside Vienna.

After releasing ‘Dance With You’ last year, Meka Majik has returned with something that will go down Memory lane as one of the most unique sound of 2018.


Following late rapper, Dagrin’s death in April 2010, PonPonPon became one of the biggest hit songs ever made in Nigeria.

It’s been 8 years since the shocking death of the ‘Erikina’ as he’s fondly called and now Meka Majik has awakened the spirit of Nigeria’s most respected indigenous rapper of all time; Dagrin with this PONPONPON (Remake).


https://i2.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/98DF28E6-DF67-49E7-BA18-68CCCC3EB444-1.jpeg?w=1000

Dagrin did blow our minds with the original song but we strongly believe Meka Majik will explode our minds with his version of this song. This compelling remake of PONPONPON was produced by Lush while the visuals was directed by the brilliant Ifektive. In good remembrance of Dagrin, we’ll be dropping the song on Monday April 23 which is the day the rap legend passed on.

Listen to this beautiful tune, listen again, watch the creative video, watch it again, then share with as many people as possible.

Jazz’s current generation of stars grew up in these genre-fluid times with hip-hop. Concurrently, a significant number of hip-hop artists have been integrating jazz into their music. As American saxophonist Kamasi Washington puts it:

“We’ve grown up alongside rappers and DJs, we’ve heard this music all our life. We are as fluent in J Dilla and Dr Dre as we are in Mingus and Coltrane“.

A unique new American university course, exploring the historical connections between jazz and hip-hop, was recently announced. The only surprise is that it took so long for such a course to be designed.

One of the pioneers in fusing hip-hop with jazz, the legendary American rapper, producer and DJ Q-Tip and esteemed jazz author Ashley Kahn will present a seven class course from September 5. The course, to run at New York University’s Clive Davis Institute Of Recorded Music, will be among the first in the world to explore the under appreciated intersections and relationships between the two genres.

Heavily influenced by jazz, Q-Tip is best known for being a founder member of A Tribe Called Quest – a hip-hop collective described by the respected All Music website as:

Without question the most intelligent, artistic rap group during the 1990s, (who) jump-started and perfected the hip-hop alternative to hardcore and gangsta rap.

A Tribe Called Quest’s sophomore album “The Low End Theory” from 1991 was a paradigm shift in hip-hop’s relationship with jazz. They set a benchmark for jazz-oriented approaches in 1990s hip-hop. The trio Digable Planets, rapper Guru’s “Jazzmatazz” project and more recently Kendrick Lamar‘s “To love-vendor A Butterfly” (2015) would follow.

I have long compared hip-hop with jazz. From their respective displaced origins, political messages, and continually shifting and reinventing of music paradigms, both genres have moved generations and offered alternative histories to the western mainstream canon of knowledge.

While news of Q-Tip’s programme is hugely welcomed, the idea that hip-hop – and jazz artists are teaching in institutions in the US is not new. What’s missing is the permanence that a full programme in hip-hop studies can offer, a chance to pursue real critical and engaged inquiry through both practice and theory.

What’s Going On With Hiphop In Africa

For many years, socio-politically charged artists like Chuck D and KRS-One have delivered weighty lectures and seminars. Pioneers such as DJ Jazzy Jay have given talks on the missing histories of hip-hop.

More recently, Killer Mike, Chance the Rapper and Talib Kweli have given talks and taken part in discussion panels on topics connected to race relations, streaming services and religion in hip-hop.

Concurrently, there is a recent wave of academics pushing the growing field of hip-hop studies. It was triggered by the early academic texts of authors like Craig Castleman and Tricia Rose, and crystallised in “That’s the Joint!: The Hip Hop Studies Reader” from 2003. In January this year, a new hip hop studies book series was launched by the University of California Press. Led by H Samy Alim and Jeff Chang it promises to be hugely successful in extending the debate worldwide.


https://i1.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/images-26.jpeg?w=551


Educators like Bronx native Dr Edmund Adjapong are using the essence of hip hop in the classroom, and finding strategies for connecting with students in the urban realm. Other notable hip-hop-led teaching methodologies are discussed in Marcella Runell and Martha Diaz’s “Hip-Hop Education Guidebook: Volume 1” – it contains lesson plans for the incorporation of hip hop into the study environment. Several UK institutions are launching hip hop modules such as SOAS University of London, where a theoretical elective “Global Hip-Hop” runs, also University of Cork have launched a module exploring hip-hop and post-colonial perspectives which are much welcomed.

And within the structure of academia, multidisciplinary work is being increasingly explored as creative silos are challenged, which comes at a time which sees cuts in arts education across the board. This offers two opportunities for practitioners and theorists of hip-hop culture to strategically influence and enhance educational institutions.

Firstly, the multidisciplinary content of hip-hop’s knowledge base presents theoretical richness in the fields of sociology, visual and sonic arts, religious, gender and cultural studies, critical race theory and art history. Secondly, the variety in the skill base of hip-hop practice supports performance, dance and music production. It also provides a range of design disciplines as well as confidence building skills in teamwork, presentation and public speaking methods.

What’s Missing In African Hiphop?

If hip-hop culture can be such a positive force in the dynamics of education, why is it not commonplace to find such an ethos embedded within academia in Europe and Africa? I would suggest this is due to hip-hop’s origins and transatlantic journey.

Since its inception in 1973 hip-hop spent almost a decade in the US evolving into its identifiable elements of rap music, graffiti and knowledge. Its global export through various music and film representations only happened in the early eighties. During that decade the influence of hip-hop on South Africa during apartheid critically addressed issues surrounding racism and the class struggle. In Europe, hip-hop has also grown and developed into its own over a period of 35 years. Yet in terms of a creative educational arena upon which to draw, it still remains liminal.

Why is it that the theoretical work seems to be gathering more momentum than the practical applications in university teaching? Perhaps the depth and length of researchers’ inquiries have already laid the foundations for the progression of hip-hop studies.

Within teaching situations the idea of hip-hop studies as a discipline is relegated to the occasional, informal and semi-structured workshop session. These seem to exist at school-level or after-school clubs only. Activities like these are, of course, very welcome. However, educators and practitioners need to be mindful that their positive contributions are built upon. It should lay foundations to frame bigger questions for teaching and learning opportunities.

There is a marked difference between hip-hop artists and practitioners visiting academic institutions and academics developing hip-hop research from within academic institutions. A greater synergy between academics and practitioners is needed to progress hip-hop studies and be taken seriously as a core area for study.

Following its successful performance launch in 2009 and counting several successful performances, Fear Abides With Me Constantly makes its maiden international performance as part of the activities at the first ever Nigerian Creative Arts Exchange taking place in Paris, France, on Saturday 18th & Sunday 19th May 2018.

Fear Abides With Me Constantly is a collection of poems written by Abioye Aronke Taiwo and edited by Toni Kan Onwordi. This Collection of poems touches on Life, Love and the world after. It was first launched with a dramatized performance concept created by Zara Udofia Ejoh that offered dance and drama accompanied by scincillating rhthyms emanating from several musical percussions representing the diverse Nigerian cultural background.


https://i0.wp.com/www.barbaric.com.ng/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/1525707899218_Fear.png?resize=2160%2C2700


Some of the poems include FEAR ABIDES WITH ME CONSTANTLY, KINDRED SPIRIT, I CAN’T WAIT TILL WINTER, ESCAPE, A WOMAN’S VOICE, I KISS YOUR LIPS, MAMA, LOVE COMES IN VARIOUS GUISES.

Emphasizing the need to underscore the goods of Nigeria, The Creative Arts Exchange offers Oxzygen Koncepts an opportunity to throw a light of hope through the dark clouds of fear of relating or doing business with Nigeria and Nigerians. The performance features an ensemble cast that includes Toyin Oshinaike, Tony Offiong, Ese Brume and a host of exciting theatre players. Fear Abides With Me Constantly is produced and directed for Oxzygen Koncepts by Zara Udofia Ejoh.

In fact, over speeding, lack of protective gear, disregard for traffic rules and carrying multiple passengers at a time are the four top reasons for bike accidents in Africa. By carefully eliminating these, MAX.ng has successfully built a safe and reliable system.
To provide best in class service, MAX.ng goes the extra mile by providing passenger liability insurance. All MAX Champions are also covered in the case there are problems.

Max Travel and Tech Soiree
Max opened the doors of its new HQ in Lekki to travel and tech bloggers in Lagos today as they announced a partnership opportunity for tourism industry and discussed the future of transportation in Lagos.

The CTO and Co-founder of MAX.ng, Chinedu Azodoh received the bloggers, and in his
discourse on Max.ng as a futuristic brand and employability crusader, Mr. Azodoh described what is driving the growth at the company.

Chinedu Azodoh informed the guests present that besides being driven by the need to provide its growing customer base with valuable and great services, MAX is also inspired to help alleviate poverty especially for their drivers.


MAX.ng trains the drivers in customer service (how to relate better with customer), technology (how to operate the app and follow the maps for directions), clientele management (how to interface with clients and drive repeat business) and other relevant life skills.

Every Champion must complete the MAX Academy training program and participate in the Champion Orientation before they are allowed to work. Each Champion is given the
opportunity to own a bike.

At MAX all Champions are monitored in real time from the MAX HQ to ensure safety
procedures are followed at all times, and that customers are able to enjoy best in class service.

Chinedu mentioned the case of Michael. a 47-year-old driver who just joined the MAX.ng
workforce in October 2017, and has via working with MAX been able to grow from his unstable financial status and improve the quality of living for himself and his family.
